This patch ensures that we report failures when unzipping ramdisks and the like, including if we fail to write to the ramdisk. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee that the gunzip function will ever terminate (gzip itself uses a setjmp and longjmp to achieve this). I wish that the ramdisk gunzip code would disappear for 2.6, replaced by an initramfs solution which should be able to handle such failure cases more cleanly. init/do_mounts.c | 19 ++++++++++++++++--- 1 files changed, 16 insertions, 3 deletions diff -urN orig/init/do_mounts.c linux/init/do_mounts.c --- orig/init/do_mounts.c Sat Jul 27 13:55:25 2002 +++ linux/init/do_mounts.c Sat Jul 27 14:13:56 2002 @@ -877,6 +877,7 @@ static unsigned inptr; /* index of next byte to be processed in inbuf */ static unsigned outcnt; /* bytes in output buffer */ static int exit_code; +static int unzip_error; static long bytes_out; static int crd_infd, crd_outfd; @@ -924,13 +925,17 @@ /* =========================================================================== * Fill the input buffer.
